CELTS TURN UP LATE TO BHOYCOTT

Fans who stayed away miss thriller as Hoops level with last kick then edge it in extra-time

- 

A SECTION of Celtic fans gave it a miss - while their team left it late to turn up.

Celtic eventually scraped into the Scottish Cup last eight by the skin of their teeth after leaving Dundee devastated.

Steven Pressley’s men were seconds away from a shock win before new Bhoy Junior Adamu made an instant impact with a backheel leveller - the last kick of the ball in the 97th minute.

Sebastian Tounetki slammed in a second a minute into extra-time to keep the trophy dream alive and save the under-fire Parkhead board from an all-out rebellion.

The planned boycott caused a sizable dent in the crowd and Dundee had the half-full Parkhead fuming when Ethan Hamilton's sensational opener flew into the net four minutes into the second half.

Unconvincing Celtic looked like they'd run out of ideas as the mood in the stands reached boiling point.

But Tounetki managed to hit the byline for sub Adamu to pounce in the 97th minute.

That set up the extra time and Tounetki superbly chopped inside to tuck in the bottom corner to make it 2-1.

It was brutally harsh on Dundee though.

Pressley’s side did a number on the Hoops, soaking up early pressure then pouncing when the chance came when Hamilton showed brilliant feet to wriggle free before slamming into the top corner.

The visitors looked more likely to grab a second with Tony Yogane’s effort blocked on the line by Kieran Tierney.
